Talking about the revenue model, I think Apple made it pretty clear in the keynote that they were concerned about volumes more than anything else. There have been expensive apps that have done well, but yes eventually the price drop is imminent. Having trial for a 99¢ app does not make sense and as far as expensive apps are concerned, developers are coming up with innovative ways to market their app. The only problem that I see with the App Store is the lack of visibility for an app and thus for a developer coming up with a brilliant app, the job is only half done.
